Hi, I can't help you but I can confirm this issue. Running ntpdate sometimes also killed my xserver. My system is runnning Suse 8.1, KDE 3.0.5, Xfree 4.2.0 on a asus a7v, athlon 800 and matrox g400.
Known problem The Xserver uses the local time to sync bits and pieces. If ntpdate kicks the clock back more then a certain amount of time (a few minutes I think) it will screw up things. If ntpdate sets the clock forward your Xscreensaver will kick in. I suggest using xntpd iso ntpdate.
